This was in Wired News today. Talk about ridiculous.
Conservatives in the Cross Hairs
If you're a politician, it's a tough week to have an R after your name. Even as a poll shows support for an independent prosecutor to investigate allegations that Bush administration officials leaked an undercover CIA agent's name, two high-profile conservatives are taking a media hammering. First up: right-wing commentator Rush Limbaugh, who resigned Wednesday from his post as ESPN announcer amid controversy over racial comments. On Thursday, a National Enquirer story -- regurgitated in a racy New York Daily News report -- blitzed Limbaugh with allegations of prescription drug abuse. Second in the sights: California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger, who faces accusations of sexual harassment in a Los Angeles Times story which rounds up six women who say the would-be governor is an unstoppable groping machine. Beware the vast left-wing conspiracy!
Oh, those poor conservatives with an R after their names. They're so good at dishing it out, but bring out anything negative about them and what do you get? A left-wing conspiracy. Boo-hoo. Left-wing conspiracy, my (left) eye!
